Unfortunately, the audience I aim at has already probably already cut
me off in a childish fit of self-righteous US inperialist

So **** you.

Do not bother replying. Seriously. I give up. With regret

OK, I've been doing a little reading on this the past couple of
day's. The gist of it seems to indicate that zinc in your lead is
very, very bad . Is that what you were saying?

Me? Idunno, I was just looking at the phase diagram. It doesn't say
anything about mechanical properties.

At a guess, I would say it would be slightly stronger, depending on if there
are any grain refiners present (very pure Pb and Zn will grow huge
crystals). Past about 0.5wt% (hypereutectic), zinc will form first
(constituting the "mushy state") instead of lead, probably resulting in a
crunchy alloy.

In general, metals that aren't very soluble in each other (there's a glaring
"L1+L2" region on the phase diagram, indicating immicibility) don't usually
make very nice alloys.
